Description
Discover the growth that's possible when we understand our authentic selves as God intended by exploring more deeply the Enneagram tool, paired with profound scriptural insights. 'This book is a gem. It's one of the top books I recommend.'-Ian Morgan Cron, author of 'The Road Back to You' 'An accessible, biblical and practical road map for anyone who wants to live fully into their true, authentic, God-given identity. I highly recommend it!'-Brenda Salter McNeil, author of Becoming Brave The Enneagram-a system of nine interconnected personality types-has been developed over many years to offer opportunities for personal development and provide a foundation for understanding others. Now a certified Enneagram coach shows how a scriptural perspective can lead us to a path of freedom. In 'Self to Lose, Self to Find', Marilyn Vancil unpacks our human dilemma, sets the scriptural foundation, explores the nine Enneagram personalities, and shows us practical ways to have a more meaningful life and healthier relationships. At its best, the Enneagram doesn't merely describe who we are, but shows us why we do what we do. It invites us to see the innate gifts and inclinations of our original design-the person we were before trials and traumas began to shape us. It also reveals the strategies and false narratives that keep us from becoming who we're truly meant to be.
